Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation demonstrates a Windows bias by using a Windows 11 Pro image as the example for VM creation, without mentioning or providing a Linux-based example. In the 'Copy existing Azure VMs into a lab' section, only a PowerShell script is referenced, with no mention of a Linux/CLI/bash alternative. The documentation also lists PowerShell before Azure CLI in the introductory paragraph, and does not provide parity in examples or tooling for Linux users.
Recommendations
  • Include a parallel example using a popular Linux image (e.g., Ubuntu) when demonstrating VM creation, and note any Linux-specific settings or differences.
  • In the 'Copy existing Azure VMs into a lab' section, provide an equivalent Azure CLI or bash script example for Linux users, or at least reference one if available.
  • When listing automation options (PowerShell, CLI, ARM template), alternate or balance the order, or explicitly state that both Windows and Linux users are supported equally.
  • Where screenshots or instructions are OS-specific, clarify applicability or provide Linux alternatives.
  • Ensure artifact examples or references include both Windows and Linux use cases.
